Concert in the 60s

In the 1960s, A.B.C. Choral and Youth Concerts were very popular. Young people would camp all night in Gawler Place near the A.B.C.’s ticket office (this was closed some years ago) to be sure of obtaining tickets when the doors opened. The orchestra also made many country tours. By the early 1970s, the Choral and Youth Concerts had disappeared and the country tours reduced considerably. The disbanding of the Adelaide Singers in February 1976 was a real loss. Concert programming tended to be very conservative in the 1960s and 1970s.
